EverQuest II: Kunark Ascending brings players back to familiar lands

The EverQuest onslaught begins today with the release of EverQuest II’s 13th expansion, Kunark Ascending. Players can now return to Kunark and visit previously unexplored areas of this country while they try to keep a powerful artifact out of the hands of the Iksar army.

You can read the full patch notes for all of the jots and tittles, but the big features include brand-new dungeons, upgrades for epic weapons, mercenary equipment, the wardrobe tab, and a new region to explore.

While Kunark Ascending won’t feature a level cap increase, there is an alternate path to character growth through the ascension class system. Max level players can learn any (or all) of the four ascended classes to enjoy new skills and buffs as they temporarily assume the form of an avatar.

The expansion starts at $35 for a standard edition and goes all the way up to $140 for the premium edition. Stay tuned for MJ’s tour through the new expansion later today on OPTV!
